One of the hardest things that an infertile mommy waits for is the word “mommy”. We watch our friends and family get pregnant at the drop of a pin. We go to baby showers wishing that we didn’t have to. We hear people ask constantly, “when will you be having yours?” or “It will happen.” Those questions hurt us.
Some of us go through the most embarrassing experiences of our lives. Really think about it. Who wants someone inspecting their eggs or their husband’s sperm? Who wants someone to know if your sperm count is down? Or if it is your fault

Ok so yesterday I had a question posed about my profile about what job I loved and gave up to come home to be with my family. I decided to do a walk down memory lane post. Its a good day to do it since its Sunday and such a blessing of a day. It’s raining out and my thoughts are turning to old past times.

I couldn’t help but think that my husband had to want a boy to carry on his name. I couldn’t forget the prayer that his father had before he died.

We called a wonderful lawyer named Stephanie Dietz and began to the process. The process was relatively easy for adopting a step child. Marsha had to have a lawyer to go over her rights. She signed over all her legal rights to me. She acknowledged that she thought that I would be a good mother to Faith. Then my husband had to see an attorney of his own. He wasn’t allowed to use mine since it was a conflict of interest. The lawyer explained that he didn’t have to do it. Basically, they want to be sure that everyone agrees to
